POLOKWANE – The latest addition to the MX-5 family fully embodies the model’s 26-year-old tradition of “lots of fun”.
While staying true to the original MX-5 retractable hardtop’s goal of making open-top driving more accessible, Mazda has broken the bounds of conventional thinking to create something entirely new.
The MX-5 RF features fastback styling with a smooth roofline that slopes down to the rear end, and its unique rear roof and retractable back window offer a new open-air feeling.
The power roof can be opened or closed at speeds of up to 10km/h with the press of a button, and the roof is stowed compactly and efficiently in a limited space. Despite its fastback styling and hardtop roof, the MX-5 RF offers the same amount of trunk space as the soft-top model.
The MX-5 RF will be available in Machine Grey, a new premium colour designed to accentuate the beauty of vehicle body line design. The model will also feature either the SKYACTIV-G 1.5 or SKYACTIV-G 2.0 engine, depending on the market.
The South African model is still to be confirmed. Cross fingers this beauty will make its way to South Africa’s shores.
The MX-5 RF will be on display at the New York International Auto Show from March 25.
